Ximeno I of Gascony

Ximeno I of Gascony (740-816) was the Duke of Gascony from 812 to 816, succeeding Antso I of Gascony and preceding Gartzia I of Gascony.

Biography
Ximeno was born in 740 to the Christian Basque House of de Vasconia, and was the son of Antso I of Gascony. Ximeno was appointed as Count of Bordeaux by Charlemagne in 778, and in 812 he was made the Duke of Gascony. He reigned until 816, when Louis the Pious deposed him for "boundless arrogance and wicked ways", and the Garonne and Pyrenees Basques rebelled against Francia after he was deposed, but they were put down. Ximeno died that same year, and he was succeeded by his son Gartzia I of Gascony.
